Subaru's XV crossover is a super-compact all-wheel drive vehicle that used to be in the Impreza line. It was presented to the world in September 2011 during the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Specifications Subaru XV
This machine is slightly larger in size than its predecessor. The main parameters of this type of transport are as follows: it is 4450 mm long, 1780 wide and 1570 mm high. The distance between the hull and the road is 220 mm, the total length of the wheel base is 2635 mm. This data gave a good opportunity for developers to focus on the free space inside the car, especially in the rear seats. There are a few extra millimeters here, along with the fact that the trunk has increased significantly in volume from 1130 to 1270 liters.
Rightfully considered one of the best cars of his class. Check it out by reading our article.
Thinking over the interior design concept, the designers decided not to change the image familiar to the eye and left the traditional idea of the interior and internal equipment. However, there have been some innovations. Now, for example, a universal liquid crystal monitor with navigation function is installed under the cover above the main micro-console.
The internal mechanisms of the crossover from Subaru
In all options assembly, this crossover is offered to the user only with smooth all-wheel drive, disc brakes installed absolutely on the entire wheelbase. This also includes a reinforced protective system, and a structure for the correct distribution of forces during braking, as well as a kit for stabilizing dynamics.
A number of motors of this brand of cars are designed from three devices horizontally - opposite characteristics. Of these, two run on gasoline, have a 1.6-liter engine. Work power - 114 Horse power at an indicator of 5600 revolutions per minute. The third unit has a two-liter engine, increased power at 150 hp at a setting of 6200 rpm.
Considering all this, according to passport data, fuel is consumed in the range from 6.3 to 6.9 liters relative to 100 km of space. Regarding the engine running on a diesel engine, in this case the characteristics are as follows: a two-liter engine operates at a power of 147 hp. The largest rotation period of 350 Nm comes out when the number of revolutions fluctuates in the range from 1600 to 2440 per minute. At the same time, it consumes 5.6 liters of fuel per 100 km of road.
This type of motor is installed in this model only with a six-speed mechanical control gearbox. A gasoline-powered machine has more options. They can be installed equally, both with a manual box of five to six steps, and with a chain-type mechanism.

Price and equipment Subaru XV
The typology of variations of this transport depends on the volume fuel tank and maximum speed. There are several of them at the moment. Let's consider them in more detail.
The first of them - the model with the code 2.0 - has an engine power of 150 horsepower and maximum speed 185 km/h. The basic package includes six protective cushions, a stabilization structure, air conditioning with climate control properties in the cabin. It is also equipped with a built-in sound system, heated seats in the front, specialized railing installations on top of the roof. The cost of this type starts from 1,199,000 rubles. If we slightly change the concept of filling (the structure of control over the state of the atmosphere in the cabin, the installation of rear-view video equipment, very light alloy wheels and a leather steering wheel), then the figures for the implementation of such a product will increase to 1,269,000 rubles. Note that a type of car with an interior made entirely of leather will cost the client 1,354,000 rubles. And the installation of a variable speed mechanism will raise the cost by another 40 thousand rubles.
The next variation of code 2.5 offers the user a car equipped with a 2.5 liter engine and 171 horsepower. V basic equipment enter only a non-replaceable variator device. This model also has the same parts as its predecessor, plus it has automatic electronic driver's seat adjustment, light intensity and rain intensity indicators, cruise control, automatic drive at the trunk, disc installations made of light alloy, as well as headlights with special anti-fog effect. The cost of this transport starts from 1,300,000 rubles.
Another variation of the Subaru car is the 2.5 T generation. It is characterized by an engine running on injection gasoline. Engine power is 180 horsepower. Designed for five people. The maximum amount of filled fuel reaches 60 liters. It is an all-wheel drive device that operates with the help of a variator. largest speed mode reaches 196 km per hour, and such a car accelerates in 9.9 seconds. Technical equipment like this:
- Anti-lock structure for brakes;
- System program for stable driving;
- Availability automatic system braking distance monitoring;
- Pillows and curtains for the safety of the driver and passengers;

Summarizing everything described above, we note that the Subaru Xv is a high-quality car, convenient in its operation and reliable for a person.
In the review, the new Japanese crossover Subaru 2017-2018 - Subaru XV with photos and videos. Price and specifications, specifications Subaru XV (XB or XV) 2017 model year in a new 3rd generation body. The official premiere of the Japanese novelty took place in early March 2017, but so far only European. The world presentation of the "third" Subaru XB will take place in a month, after which the price will be announced and sales will start. Japanese crossover in the Old and New Worlds, Russia and Japan.
America, by the way, is the main market for the model (in the North American market of the Subaru Crosstrek). From 2013 to 2016, American car enthusiasts purchased nearly 310,000 previous-generation crossovers, while in Europe just over 42,000 units were sold during the same reporting period. Perhaps this fact is central to the fact that new Subaru XV 3rd generation visually practically does not differ from its predecessor (American motorists are very conservative).
It may even seem that we are deeply upgraded version second generation Subaru XV. But no, the crossover is completely new, starting from latest platform Subaru Global Platform and completely original panels body, ending with a gasoline boxer engine with direct fuel injection and a noticeably transformed interior with a wider range of modern equipment.
According to the information provided by the manufacturer, the body of the new car was designed from scratch and is made of high-strength steel, which made it possible to increase the torsional rigidity of the body in one fell swoop by as much as 70% compared to the previous generation model. At the same time, in the event of a frontal collision, the new XV absorbs the kinetic energy of an impact by 40% better. But, fortunately, it may not come to an emergency collision, because the arsenal of security systems is impressive: Pre-Collision Braking Control, Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist, Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection and High Beam Assist, car keeping systems in the lane and monitoring of blind spots of rear-view mirrors.
- External dimensions 2017-2018 Subaru XV bodies are 4465mm long, 1800mm wide, 1615mm high, with a 2665mm wheelbase and 220mm ground clearance(clearance) with the standard installation of 18-inch alloy wheels.
Returning to the exterior design of the body of a new generation of Japanese compact crossover Subaru XV would like to highlight the expressive front end with new headlights, complemented by strokes of LED daytime running lights and a solid stern, also decorated with new marker lights. In general, the designers tried to preserve the familiar features of their predecessor in the image of the novelty, and they managed to do it, so much so that the first time it is even difficult to find differences.
The salon of the 3rd generation of the XV crossover from Subaru, like the body of the novelty, also looks not new, but modernized. By and large, with the change of generations, practically nothing had to be changed in the interior. However, to install a new STARLINK Multimedia system (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) with color screens enlarged to 6.5 and 8.0 inches, as well as a modern air conditioning unit, the linkers increased the size of the center console by slightly changing the entire front panel. The novelty has acquired a slightly modernized steering wheel and instrument panel, new door cards, and a parking brake drive key.
The increase in the size of the wheelbase allowed the rear passengers to allocate more legroom. rear seats became more comfortable and cozy. Of course, the manufacturer announced better finishing materials.
Specifications
Subaru XV 2017-2018. A completely independent suspension scheme with MacPherson struts in front and a multi-link rear went to a new generation of crossover from the previous generation of the model, but ... the damping elements are new (better suspension smoothness and higher stability when driving at high speed). More rigid suspension parts are used, rear stabilizer roll stability from now on, it is attached directly to the body, which made it possible to reduce body roll in corners by 2 times. Steering by reducing the gear ratio from 14.1 to 13.1, it became more acute. The all-wheel drive transmission Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive was supplemented with the X-MODE mode (the motor and the stabilization system switch to off-road driving mode). 
Under the hood of the new generation Subaru XV is a gasoline boxer 2.0-liter FB20 engine with direct fuel injection into the cylinders (156 hp 196 Nm) in the company with a Lineartronic CVT.
The mass of the new FB20 engine is 12 kg less than the mass of the engine installed on the 2nd generation of the crossover, while 80% of the parts are original, the power has increased by 6 forces, and fuel consumption, on the contrary, has been reduced by 10%.

Subaru XV, 2012
I purchased a Subaru XV in the DE configuration with a 1.6-liter engine, 114 "horses". My opinion is that it has the essentials: 6 airbags, stability control, heated seats, mirrors, windshield in the brush area, USB, headlight washer, tinting, etc. Proezdil winter, winding on the odometer 12,000 km, went to Krasnoyarsk, twice in Omsk. Well, around the city. Subaru XV’s consumption is pleasantly pleasing, I don’t trust on-board computers and therefore I detect consumption on my own, that is, I fill full tank and after passing 100 km I top up to the full, I got 6-6.5 liters on the highway at a speed of 110-120 km / h and 9.5-10.5 in the city, but everything is relative, since everyone's driving style is different, I usually go a little faster than the flow, I'm not in a hurry, but I don't crawl either. Comfort and fit is very comfortable, noise isolation is acceptable, no better, but no worse than in cars of other brands. On long trips, the back does not get tired and the fifth point does not numb. If you have at least a little experience, on the track you will easily overtake both trucks and columns. Of course, this car does not have the throttle response of a 2.5-liter engine, but it’s somehow not correct to compare them, and in comparison with other cars with a 1.6 and even 1.8 liter engine, the Subaru XV is not inferior (my last car with motor 2.4 l front-wheel drive). In winter and spring, I traveled over rough terrain and on an icy track, this is a completely different story, all-wheel drive is set up so that even at first glance it somehow finds a way out of hopeless situations, this cannot be described in words, it must be felt and seen. But everything cannot be perfect in a car, the suspension in the Subaru XV is a bit harsh, but this is a tribute to handling, especially since the stiffness in the suspension is more than compensated by wheels with 17 disk diameters. By the way, for the winter I put 16th wheels with a high rubber profile, the overall diameter of the wheel remained the same, and the car rides softer. Another disadvantage is the relatively small trunk.
Advantages : design. Controllability. Patency.
Flaws : small trunk. Rigid suspension.

Subaru XV, 2012
Impressions are still normal. Compared with Qashqai, Zhuk, Sportage and other representatives of the same class and series, I liked Subaru XV something more. I simply didn’t like other cars because of the clumsiness of the body and driving style - they just “stupid” (options with an automatic, variator and gasoline engine no more than 2 liters all-wheel drive). On average off-road, with the VCD assistant turned off, you feel like you are on a rally car. Consumption on the highway with the air conditioner turned on becomes less and less with every hundred kilometers. How they bought the Subaru XV, it showed 10.4 liters in the first hundred, ran 400 km, now it shows 9.1 - they warned in the cabin not to “give” more than 100 km / h and more than 3000 revolutions. I wait until the break-in period passes. “Shumka” suits me (here I found on the Internet that the sound insulation on the Subaru XV is terrible - they probably didn’t drive this car at all, I already tried to start the car twice), the interior does not creak or whistle, the plastic is soft, the interior spacious. Otherwise, everything is fine so far, I'll go through the run-in and see what happens next. Drove 2000 km, on the highway there is uncertainty on overtaking. If you buy such a horse for yourself, take it with a 2-liter engine on the mechanics. In the city and on the impassability I feel confident, where the tanks will not pass, I will crawl along the impassability. There were "crickets" in the cabin recently.
Advantages : fuel consumption. Dynamics. Engine operation. Patency.
Flaws : crickets in the cabin.

They have always stood out from the masses of others with their charisma and individuality. So Subaru XV continues this "family" tradition. In appearance aggression is seen through, and the front with squinted headlights, along with a small grille and orange, resembles a fox's face.
In general, the exterior is more than successful. Although many are alarmed that Subaru has become more like a simple hatchback than a crossover.
Only two engines to choose from. Both are petrol. There is also a diesel engine in this series, but its deliveries to Russia are not yet planned. The first is a 1.6-liter “engine”, with a capacity of 114 liters. With. and a torque of 150 Nm. Acceleration to hundreds takes from 13.1 to 13.8 seconds. (it all depends on the "box"). It seems to be not impressive, but on test drives everyone notes that the motor is faster than you expect, and it accelerates very recklessly, although after 60 km / h it noticeably fades.
"Dvushka" is faster, although not a record holder - 10.5 and 10.7 seconds to 100 km / h. The engine power is 150 "horses", and the torque is 198 Nm.
As a checkpoint, both the traditional, honest “mechanics” and the variator act. The manual transmission has 5 steps on a 1.6-liter car, and 6 gears on a 2-liter. CVT upsets with a noticeable noise background and some “stupidity”, and given the tendency of CVTs to overheat, it becomes clear that it is better to drive off-road with it carefully and without fanaticism.
Both motors have an opposite layout, which gives the car some advantages over its competitors. The main thing is controllability. At speed, the car goes along the road like a glove, the turns go “like on rails”, and the branded boxer, which allows you to sink the center of gravity and the filigree settings of the “steering wheel”, make the “taxiing” simply excellent. But in the pits, the suspension is losing ground. And although the shock absorbers do not work for a breakdown, the crossover shakes fairly.
On the country road, you can feel very confident. There is no “underdrive” at all - only complete. The manual transmission comes with a time-tested viscous coupling and differential, and a couple of new “gadgets” will make up the CVT - a friction clutch and electronics. Off-road confidence is also given by the huge ground clearance - 22 cm. The geometry of the body is also on top.
Salon Subaru XV
From the interior, the sensations are contradictory - everything seems to be on the case, but it's too simple. There is no highlight. However, all options work properly. The interior is spacious and the seats are very comfortable. "Tidy" is still simple, but reads perfectly. Visibility is excellent.
A large display flaunts in the center of the dashboard, but on-board computer from above it looks frankly dull and sad.
The trunk is small - 310 liters, but if you fold the seats, you can get an almost flat floor of the cargo compartment.
Price a lot of cars - for a 1.6-liter version with a manual transmission they ask from 934,600 rubles, and a “kopeck piece” with MT will cost 1,064,100 rubles. But the equipment pleases - even in the database there is a “climate”, pillows, electronic assistants, 17-inch molding, “foglights”, an adjustable steering wheel ... Further - more. The maximum price will be 1,286,000 rubles.
Yes… You have to pay for individuality in the modern world. And a lot.
